My Goulash recipe I present to you today. The goulash is … a classic stew. In the article I answer the most important questions about goulash cooking. The goulash cooking video shows you the preparation step by step. Help, the family comes … Quickly tidied up and then still in the kitchen? Everything goes completely relaxed. There is still time for nice conversations. So everyone will be happy and you can also make Mom coffee 😉 I wish you good success in cooking your own goulash.

1. Cook Goulash

In classic goulash, the meat is not fried, the onion cubes (the same amount as meat) are fried brown, roasted briefly with tomato puree, then sprinkled with sweet paprika (do not roast paprika, it is bitter), the meat is added and immediately infused with broth. After or during a cooking time of 60-90 minutes, season with salt, pepper, marjoram, grated untreated lemon peel, chopped caraway seeds and crushed cloves of garlic. The onions are supposed to bind the goulash, a maximum of one finely grated potato is added by professional chefs and chefs for tying. The classic goulash is rounded off by fine seasoning with freshly ground Piement.

2. Beef Goulash, the right Goulash Meat, for German and Austrian Goulash

The best goulash meat comes from the front or rear knuckle of beef. These cuts are strong in taste, juicy, boil buttery soft (also the tendons) and do not disintegrate fibrous. The meat from the neck of beef, on the other hand, is leaner, boils fibrous and is therefore not optimally suited. Noble goulash is cut from the shoulder or even from the fillet, there are innumerable variants of goulash which I would like to briefly touch in the following. Goulash won’t be tough if you use the right meat.

3. How long should a Goulash be Cooked?

The cooking time depends on the type of meat and the size of the beef cubes. Rinderwade in the cube size 3 cm needs about 1.5 hours, the meat should be cooked butter soft.

4. Goulash Meat and Onion, the right amount …macht´s 🙂

5. Fry Onions light brown, this is the most Important Step in Preparing Goulash

The onions are slowly roasted brown in oil or lard, after adding tomato puree (and some sugar – insider tip), briefly continue roasting, the sweet paprika is dusted and immediately extinguished with broth. The paprika must not roast any more, otherwise it becomes bitter.
